How to Make Best Ever Homemade Mayonnaise
- In a food processor or blender, combine 2 large egg yolks, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white wine vinegar.
- With the food processor or blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in 1 cup of your best quality oil (vegetable, canola, or grapeseed are all great choices) in a thin, steady stream. The key is to add the oil slowly!
- Once all the oil is incorporated (approximately 30-60 seconds), continue to blend for another 10-20 seconds to ensure a smooth, emulsified texture.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or Dijon mustard to your liking.
- Transfer the mayonnaise to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Refrigerate for up to 2-3 weeks if your eggs are very fresh.
- Enjoy your homemade mayonnaise on sandwiches, burgers, salads, or as a dip for your favorite vegetables!
